SAN JOSE - Game one of the Stanley Cup Western Conference
‘Tosca’ features searing drama and music
Opera San Jose begins its illustrious 32nd season with "Tosca," Puccini’s most melodramatic opera. “Tosca” is based on Victorian Sardou’s 1887 French language dramatic play La Tosca. The play starred Sarah Bernhardt, who played the lead in over 3,000 performances. Puccini became obsessed with turning the play into an opera. Librettist Luigi Illica advised Puccini against trying to turn the play into an opera because he felt it could not be adapted to a musical form and was too violent.

Gilroy loves a parade; embracing our ag heritage may be Econ 101 ticket
The Gilroy Police Department’s motorcycle traffic unit put on a nice bob-and-weave demonstration at our wonderful homespun Memorial Day parade. As the cars, displays and honorable veterans motored by and my grandchildren waved their flags in delight, I thought a thank you to former Mayor Mike Gilroy and former Councilman Bob Dillon and their cohorts for starting this annual event. It’s a great tradition.
